Comments on: How is Reality TV like Genre Fiction? http://gaildayton.net/?p=284 Sat, 22 Feb 2014 06:07:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.2 By: Gail Dayton http://gaildayton.net/?p=284#comment-336 Thu, 03 Jul 2008 20:17:00 +0000 http://gaildayton.net/?p=284#comment-336 I do understand how so many people enjoy the reality shows. I started catching the Black Gold oil rig shows and have really enjoyed them. It does crack me up though, when they put subtitles up for the guys with the Deep East Texas accents. :)

I can still remember an incident in high school. I got to class a little early, so I pulled out a book to read (in fact, I think it was an Anne McCaffrey Pern novel). On of the guys in my class came in, gave me a look, and asked which class I was reading it for. The look of incomprehension on his face when I said it wasn’t for class, it was just for fun, was priceless (and a little dismaying).

As for reality tv, I love it. The dancing shows, like So You Think You Can Dance right now (but not the singing competitions, since I have low tolerance for amateur singers). The job shows (America’s Next Top Model, Hell’s Kitchen, Top Chef, Shear Genius, Project Runway). The general competitions (Survivor, Amazing Race).

The only ones I avoid, really, are the dating shows and ones that involve humiliation.

Anyway, they are the junk food for my brain. Just like reading something light and fluffy. Sometimes I want something much more serious, but fluff is also good. Especially at the end of a long, exhausting day when you can’t concentrate on a plotline.
